Alawon Gwerin Cymru | Welsh Folk Songs, Part 1 - J. Lloyd Williams, L. D. Jones (Llew Tegid)
TC CE 003
This is a new edition of the first volume in a collection of Welsh Folk Songs originally published c.1924 by Hughes and Son, with the approval of the Welsh Folk Song Society, in arrangements by J. Lloyd Williams and L.D. Jones (Llew Tegid).
The songs are arranged for two- and three-part groups of children's voices with piano accompaniment, but the strength and clarity of these classic and familiar arrangements is that they can be adapted and sung by any number of voices, in unison or otherwise, in whichever context required. The notation has been updated to a modern standard, with additional staves where necessary to aid clarity. Comb-bound.
